2002 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AE52 XJB

The Peugeot Boxer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 91,299 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since October 2023. The two-year pattern shows no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies annual statutory inspection without intervention. Recorded mileage sits low for a 24-year-old van. The test on 12 October 2022 captured 77,700 miles, rising to 81,341 by 18 October 2023, then 86,450 on 10 October 2024, and 91,299 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year, confirming light use. The only anomaly is the failed test on 8 October 2024 at 86,449 miles with no defects listed, reversed two days later at 86,450 miles with a pass. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical defect, though the buyer should confirm the reason with DVSA. Given the sparse and clean record, no recurring wear items or structural concerns surface from the MOT data. The absence of advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across five tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each inspection. Low annual mileage does raise the risk of perished rubber, seized calipers, or underbody corrosion from long standing periods, none of which the MOT history contradicts but none confirms. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, especially chassis rails and suspension mounts prone to rust on Boxers of this era. Verify the brake system operates free of binding and check all fluid intervals, as light use often masks neglected servicing. The 2024 failure with zero defects warrants a DVSA explanation to rule out a clerical error before purchase.
